Sam Bahadur (2023)
Beautiful cinematic experience. Just wow
I can't remember the last time I wrote a review on IMDb, but here I am compelled to share my insights. I got into this movie purely for my love and respect for the Indian army (or military, in general). Also, the fact that it stars Vicky Kaushal, who was brilliant as Sardar Udham and in Uri. And god, did I enjoy this? In simple words, it's an excellent movie shot wonderfully and the team at work captures elements quite exceptionally. This isn't your typical Bollywood drama. There aren't any high-octane action sequences, and neither are there any songs that could pull audiences. It's a slow-paced narration of the life of Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw. It started in the early 1930s and ended after the liberation of Bangladesh. I just loved every bit of it. The direction, acting, cinematography, locations (highlight) and background music. It's a delicious tale of our legend and Vicky Kaushal got into the skin of character quite easily here. He has lost his weight here, the way he walks and speaks, everything reminds us of Sam Manekshaw. He is brilliant. Every else in the cast gave it their best shot. Nothing felt out of place to me. I also appreciate Meghna Gulzaar for her sincere direction and for not getting seduced by propaganda. Every Indian should watch it. Jai hind.
Tenet (2020)
It's mind boggling and offers unparalleled entertainment
First off, tenet can't be understood in one go. It needs to be revisited at least twice or thrice, for it has way too many details. It's well-directed, well-acted with some of the best soundtracks of recent times. It's loud, erratic and irrational on some levels but it all works out in the end. I am a fan of Christopher Nolan's work and believe that he is one of the best minds in Hollywood right now and deserves all the more accolades.
Tenet is a highly entertaining movie- a visual treat. So, even if like me you don't understand the film in one go, at least you wouldn't be disappointed by the sheer entertainment it offers. Overall a good watch but could have been complemented with some sound explanation at the end.
